In his constant pursuit of cold graceless function he has lost sight of the warmth and lustre of polished walnut next to an open fire. He is blind to the depth of deep bluing. But most of all he does not understand that 30-06 is a mans chambering. It does not need technical perfection any more than a classic muscle car needs to race a boy racer up a winding rode. Sure, the boy racer with his technofabulous car wants to race, and he might win, but the guy in the muscle car reclining on leather seats with the deep hum of his engine does not care. He is not looking to win a race to be happy, he already is.
